Previous Day

Overnight status: taking Cf data. Event write rate between 10 and 15 Hz.
0850 Tower/MC(H35)/MC sensor/Cold Plate = 31.0/25.7/39.8/146 mK, Still = 1.34 K / 0.11 mbar, G1/G2 = 225/215 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.73 K / 20 mbar, Main bath = 30.3%
Readings above taken while data was being taken (before flash)
0920 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
0938 Remove Cf source from fridge.
0940 Commence LHe transfer (28.6%).
1041 Finish LHe transfer (84.8%).
1055 Place Ba source on back side of fridge inside top-most part of shield for Ba data runs.
1057 Set phonon thresholds to values from 2015/10/02, and start 2 15min series of Ba data at -/+2V, FG=5/2/5, OG=3, with 1000 initial randoms, 2000 events/file, 30s flashing and 30min cooldown in between.
1215 Put Cf source back in safe.
1425 Start series of 2000 randoms of 20ms traces at 0V Qbias, FG=5/2/5, OG=3, QET biases at transition values, no source present, and DCRCs in their usual positions.
1506 Stop randoms after ~2600.
1515 Stack DCRC boards and start data series of 2000 randoms of 20ms traces with same settings as before.

1549 Separate DCRCs by greater than usual distance and start data series of 2000 randoms of 20ms traces with same settings as before.

1600 After ~780 randoms, network update requires computer restart, so stop run so update doesn't mess up the data.
1608 Apparently the update didn't require a restart, just browser closing, so restart data to acquire ~1220 more randoms.
1650 Cease randoms. 250Hz noise still present on phonon channels. ~15mVpp.
1655 Despite noise, start background data of 21 cycles of 15min series at -/+2V with 3.2768s trace lengths, FG=5/2/5, OG=3, with 1000 initial randoms, 2000 events/file, 30s flashing and 30min cooldown in between.
1725 Main bath = 76.0%
1728 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
